“fly with me” glides effortlessly through west coast aor in a unique hybrid japanese-hawaii fashion, uplifting the listener with inspiring sound and lyrics. “time machine” is high-energy cosmic disco jam that lends itself to japanese enka, yet maintains its playability through simple yet strong songwriting. whenever we listen, it’s as if aiko has invited us to join her as she soars through the after-life, flying “higher and higher as a bird”, traversing a space “where anything is possible”.

i released the original 12inch volume of five fingers of death battle breaks way back in 1998, while i was living in oakland and then san francisco during a time of incredible movement and creativity within the suddenly exploding scratch dj scene. the term turntablist, coined by dj disk, had yet to really catch on outside of the bay area scratch fraternity. having recently moved to california from new york, pauls turntable aesthetics were strictly 80s east coast and was more concerned with catching doubles (beat juggling) and overall party rocking. in other words, the science of scratching was not something i was even contemplating.needless to say, i was completely amazed and overwhelmed with what djs like qbert, shortcut, apollo and mixmaster mike were doing. (paul nice)

after the release of his beautifully put together album ‘shining the money ball’ via vancouver’s 1080p earlier last year (which will see a limited vinyl release on lo recordings later this year), as well as having music released through 100% silk, body-san joins the lo family with ‘pacific reasons ep’. having been a part of the new wave of house music to emerge over the past few years from the west coast of america and canada, body-san delivers music with a rich sense of depth, emotive precision and concise instrumentation throughout. brandon knocke (in his own apt description) offers three ‘coastal burners’ through ‘pacific reasons’, with the addition of the majestic interlude ‘liquid entrance’. ‘topaz chalice’ sets us off with the sunset, created through comforting yet strangely ominous chords and vocal melody lines. the track slowly evolves with small percussive flurries, beautiful chord and melody progressions and a smooth, sliding bass line. as pleasant and calming as ‘topaz chalice’ is, we still feel the full force of knocke’s thumping kick, making it as viable for the dance as it is for the cans...

the self-proclaimed funkiest band on the west coast of africa, the heads funk band, could arguably make that claim for the whole continent. featuring the slick guitar of felix ‘feladey’ odey, the slinky drumming of eddie offeyi and the swirling keyboard chops of kevin ‘fortune’ coburn, nobody was funkier. and that’s not even taking into account the dance floor monsters they were releasing at the same time as akwassa.

schmer-007 smoking is still bad for you volume 1 is here and contains old school and new cool tracks from all the original schmer culprits plus some loops from our new friends. dietrich schoenemann and prototype 909 dug their tracks out of their vast archives of unreleased originals. dj rx-5 and bpmf delivered some hot new schmers to get us moving again. for the last 20 years we’ve all been tormented by the great issues facing mankind and most vexing among them of course was when will the next schmer record finally come out? i am happy to say that the answer, my record distributing friend, is now! prototype 909 demands that you ( redacted ) the volume! a track recorded in 1997 and finally getting released for the first time here. prototype 909 was a group from new york that made techno in the 90s. since then, the three members of this group all went on to do things. #truefacts dietrich schoenemann has been so busy being one of the last men cutting all the records in the world that he hasnt had time to organize his catalog of unreleased gems. i distracted him with the old look over there trick and stole 8 feet from him while he wasn t looking. (hopefully he didn t recognize it while he was mastering it) the last schmer vinyl was dj rx-5 a taste for crap ep from the then moscow based very underground dj compass vrubell. nina kraviz thought it was so crappy she put a track from it on fabric 91: nina kraviz, so i asked alexey to make some more crap. he did it his shway and this is the result. ( ps he still has all the patterns for the rx-5 from the original release so remaster, remixes and rereleases are in schmer s future, huzzah!) bpmf the original schmer artist had nothing better to do so he kommt back and gave us this track. we love to torture the engineer so we just had to include some loops: rhizome is the alter-ego of moscow wunderkind nikita zabelin. philly based hero/victim has been victimizing soundsystems up and down the east coast with his mad live performances. the wise caucasian is a pseudonym for some super famous london based producer and label owner, or at least thats what he claimed when i picked up his bar tab.

the only time you wear a tuxedo is when its time to party. so says legendary west coast player snoop dogg on the opening track of tuxedo ii. the blessing of the doggfather is of special importance to mayer hawthorne and jake one, whose second album as a duo finds them at the forefront of a new wave of gangster boogie one that owes as much to g-funk as p-funk. this is the territory of pre- and post-hydraulic low riders: a mélange of cali boom-bap, analog synth bass and elegant disco that resonates truth and authenticity in an era where so many are faking the funk

brian abelson aka see other is one of the brightest talents in this field to emerge from new york in some time. he’s been honing and refining his style of brooding, purring, oscillating house rollers for some time. the final brew is humble mixture of low-slung smallville-esque house warmth, fred p level deepness and playful, tinkering wooden melodies that recall some of the finest work from the drumpoet community collective.
across this debut ep is a masterful grasp of the deep house template, with an array of hook-based elements that turn respectable raw bangers into transcendental experiences both at home and in the dance.
waitin is the modern classic, fallin is the party hammer, pushin is the soul & the feeling & the vibe, peter’s lament is the loving tender cuddle in a west coast hammock, change is the moody, sleep-deprived closer.

the coeo boys need no introduction anymore. their two last singles made it into the sets of so many djs. they are among the emerging artists of that new german scene of kids that make house music inspired by old jazz and funk records. the boys are mad about rare vinyl. and they love to make music with a positive spirit. yes, there is something sunny in their tracks. something that instantly makes you want to move. we heard so many mixtapes that started with a coeo track. makes sense: they are perfect to set a vibe. a good mood. but if you know that the coeo boys work in a studio over the roofs of munich, with a fantastic view over the lights of the city, with a great vibe where you see all the glammy colors of the light in the night then you understand why coeos music sounds as it sounds

seige monstracity is an anomaly in the music industry. he rides the fence, providing the contemporary soundtracks for successful commercial artists such as yg, tyrese, keisha cole, and marsha ambrosius, as well as producing grimey backdrops for underground artists like bizarre, bad lucc, and namebrand.
this is a collection of the latter. seige’s debut lp contains 12 incredible doses of heavy beats, chopped up breaks, and obliterated samples. a detroit transplant in los angeles, both cities are omnipresent at all times on the lp.
“swahililand” is a west-coast interpretation of the classic “stakes is high”. “careless” revives a classic david axelrod moment. “dirt bag” sounds like a late night liquor store robbery. “doves” takes a classic from one of our all time greats who we lost recently, and transforms it into a ride thru the hood on a beautiful day in los angeles.
this is not to be missed. another classic collection of beats from street corner music.

1per customer , marcus guerra s productions from some ten years ago are highly sought after, whether in the attendants or on his own as homero g. after many years of silence, the west coast label revives itself with a third instalment in the crucial deep cut collective series, and it s heartening to see that guerra s instinct for deadly deep house hooks has not faded one jot. just try listening to -feelin understood- and not getting the urge to hit the nearest dancefloor. the mood stays varied across the 12-, with the more percussive -days of the dcc- sitting in opposition to the none-deeper seduction of -by my side-

i walked by night is a new label created with the ethos that comes from the foundations of any good resident dj, that of good selection. label boss krysko, who has held residencies for over 16 years, brings his experience to his new label. the debut release comes from tristan grace, a uk based artist (aliases - oe & prime time crew). raised propping up record store counters on the south coast since his early teens, now lives pretty isolated from current club culture. nothing beats being in the storm of a dance floor, but being able to step away from the pull and draws of the scene allows him to diarise his occupational exposure through trax. inspiration from the motor city and acid sound lies at the heart of what he does. influenced by rolling green hills, and surrounded by the analog soul of his machines - he has an addiction to vintage machines of asian origin, valves, and its fair to say, he lives his life in 16 step sequence. the furse ep moves across the width of his sound, and this being his debut release on i walked by night, there will be many more to come.

zarkoff (sasa rajkovic) is croatian musician and sound engineer that has been busy making proper sound of dozens labels and doing his own music last ten years. genre could be described as dark electronics, somewhere between techno and synth wave, but if there is something that makes him unique, it s his powerfull and distinctive voice. sasa is also member of ebm-ish project sumerian fleet, having releases on mighty dark entries or creme organization, where we took the opportunity and asked his colleague, legendary mr. pauli to enrich this 12inch with proper west coast style remix.
